    JabbaPost, seriously, your answer has given me even more reason to respect you. You have observed both sides of the fence and can see that you have kept up the faith for the past twenty years. I would have liked to comment on your previous post about my remark about allowing women to play a...

    Catholic Protocol

    After trying to read through JabbPapa "thorough explanation" I as a practising Catholic am even more confused. The nearest I can make out is dougfitz's quote I think the path for Catholics is being being lighted differently by Pope Francis, if we read his latest interviews. My own...

    Unplugging

    This reminds me of my 82 year old neighbour who lives alone and travels frequently, when I took her to the airport I asked her if she brought her camera, she said that she never takes pictures as she has no-one to show the photos to. It was so sad, but perfect for her. As part of our place in...

    Catholic Protocol

    This doctrine if followed strictly will see long queues at the Catholic confession boxes and a fraction walking to receive the Communion, the rest remaining in the pews as unworthy to receive the communion in the doctrine's present form. Hopefully the new Francis will look at changes in this...

    Gadget preparation for the newbie

    Thanks David for your inputs, many will agree with your advise that leaving their gadget behind would allow them to see the camino in a different light .....but they would still take some form of 21st century gadget with them.
